Christian Petzold

Christian Petzold (1677 – before 2 June 1733) was a German composer and organist. He was active primarily in Dresden, and achieved a high reputation during his lifetime, but his surviving works are few. The famous menuet, Minuet in G major, previously attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, has been established in the 1970s as a piece by Petzold. Its melody is familiar to 1960s pop fans as the basis of "A Lover's Concerto" by The Toys.
